Who watches the Watchmen? Did anybody see the movie? I thought it was
cook, tho a bit longish. Favorite character is Night Owl, peticularly with
the updated Burtonesq costume.

(And it's probably easier to have sex in the Owl ship than the Batmobile.)

Yup, saw it the second week it was open. I knew the movie would not
be 100% of the graphic novel. I think they did a good job of choosing
what to keep and what to leave out. The change to the end threat also
worked better in the movie with the other changes made.

This was a low power game with one true super (Dr Manhattan) and two
people with advanced gadgets (Nite Owl and Ozymandius). Otherwise it
was all street-level abilities. That makes for a more challenging,
fun game.

Ozymandius is a super, it's just that his powers aren't physical, but
rather hypercognitive.

And superinteligence comes with super amorality, and super arrogance I
suppose.

Sometimes: It's not hard to come to believe you know better than everyone
else when you really are that smart.

It is worth noting that Ozymandius was trying to stop something rather
extreme, and that less damaging paths all seemed like they would just
delay the end.


Question for the philosophers: Is it moral to kill someone to prevent an
event that would kill that person anyway?
